Our understanding of the clandestine world of spies and espionage is largely restricted to what intelligence agencies, the military and governments wish to disclose. The knowledge shared with the public via declassification, memoirs of former spies, and ‘leaks’ offers only a minute glimpse into the elusive, selective, and seemingly alluring universe of espionage. While this espionage tour of London can’t divulge everything, it can certainly acquaint you with what’s essential.
Geared towards both hard-core espionage enthusiasts and those curious about whether top-tier spies indeed prefer Vodka Martinis, this tour provides an insight into what’s known about these unseen guardians and their stealthy operations. Setting off from Swiss Cottage—the launchpad for an espionage tale that’s almost too incredible to believe, which includes the sole Brit to be honored with the Iron Cross—we’ll guide you to the anonymous and notorious locations in London that spies would rather keep under wraps.
